ApexDesk Elite Pro Series 60 x 27 Electric Height Adjustable Stand up Desk Sit Stand Home Office Desk

Update: I’ve been using this desk for over 2 years and I have no complaints at all. I love this desk and it saves my back, daily! Only thing I would do differently now, is I would have stuck with the non-contoured desk because I would have more options for monitor arms. The edge of the contoured desk is contoured (not level) on the edges, on the underside, and therefore I have to use Uplift brand for all desk accessories, and have to check with Uplift to confirm it will work with the contoured desk before purchasing. Most things from Uplift are compatible, and also of excellent quality, so that’s the good part. I started a new work from home position recently and have recommended this desk to multiple coworkers recently. My sister purchased one right after I first bought mine, on my recommendation, and I know she’s still very pleased with hers. I also want to mention that coasters are not needed when using this desk. You can put a hot coffee mug, or a cold cup with lots of condensation on it, and it will not damage the surface. I have noticed that the slight texture on the surface of this desk has become very smooth under where my wrist goes when I’m using my mouse but you can only tell by touching it. You cannot see the difference with your eyes. Love, love, love this desk!! The accessories I’ve purchased are as follows: I have the wire management, the additional desktop outlets, and dual monitor arms, all by this brand, and love all of them. Previous review that I still stand by 100%: This desk is AMAZING!! I'm almost 50 and have had a herniated disk since I was 35, in my low back, which causes sciatica. I've been in a desk job for the past 8 years and it isn't fun for my back, to say the least. I've never been able to afford a good standing desk, because the ones that have had good ratings and dual motor options, in the past, were all over $1K, with no extra features (which are needed in my world). I know a lot of people complain about having to pay extra for the extras (such as the cord management and the powered grommets) , but all of these standing desk companies charge extra for each of the extras. I've had this desk for 2 weeks, use it every day for 8-9 hours, and am impressed every minute! It's super stable and moves smoothly (my skittish cat doesn't even wake up when he's sleeping on it when moving it up or down). I'm 5'8" and it goes almost all the way above my head, which made plugging everything in so easy and comfortable! I'm working from home due to Covid-19, but when I go back to the office, I'm praying they will let me bring this desk. Either way, I'll be able to move around while I'm working at home and doing my personal desk work, now and in the future. My back, sciatic nerve and rear-end are so much happier!! The "extras"/add-ons are pretty good. I'll review them on their own product pages, but I'm NOT sorry I purchased them. They aren't perfect but the serve their purposes well, and with a little creativity, all the issues can be solved. The "extras" are also affordable. The desk top is very pretty and doesn't seem to have any issues with cups leaving rings on it, although I've been trying to use coasters, just in case. It's roomy enough to fit all of my excessive computer peripherals that are required for my job, which is spectacular (got the 60"). Assembly was shockingly easy, considering it was me and my 81 year old mother (best friend) putting it together. I think it took us about an hour. The pieces are HEAVY (for us weaklings). The instructions were difficult to find, as they were between the cardboard box and the styrofoam, on the bottom side of one of the boxes. Before we found them, we were able to find a PDF online for the assembly instructions by googling "Apex Elite Assembly," which was very helpful. My desk arrived in perfect condition and with all of the needed parts. Thank you Apex!! :-) Read more

I purchased the ApexDesk Elite Series 71" Standing desk with Electric Height Adjustment and Memory Controller, with the Red Apple Top and Black Frame. I work from home and was sitting all the time and have had back and neck problems, as I've been working on a computer for decades. I bought this so I could have better posture when working for hours, with less pain. The shipment came in 3 boxes as expected and all were in very good shape with no damage. Everything was packed very well and protected with hard styrofoam and plastic. I followed the instructions to verify I had all pieces before getting started, which I always do anyway, and had everything I needed. The instructions were mostly clear, but the diagrams in the instructions are too small and hard to verify that I had parts connected correctly, or had the correct screws. Even using reader glasses, I couldn't quite make out how some parts were supposed to be connected, but it wasn't that hard to figure out. I mostly installed it myself with the help of one other person to lift the frame and top when needed. It's easier to use two people and will save your back. The frame is very heavy duty and sturdy, and desk top is very good quality and sturdy. I chose the Red Apple Top as it matches my decor and goes well together. The company also sent me the cable management tray, even though I didn't order it. I wasn't sure I needed it, and was going to purchase later if needed. Well, it is needed to hide your cords, if you don't want the cords to be laying on the ground and hanging down. If they didn't send it to me, I would have ordered it. Now my cables are out of the way, and looks very professional, and very simple to install. In addition to the desk cords for raising and lowering, I was able to use for my other cables I well - network cable,monitor cables, etc. I completed the install and setup last night and started using the desk this morning. I love standing when working. This also has a memory height adjustment, which you can set, then press a button to raise / lower to a specific height. This is nice, as I don't have to play around if I like a certain or not. Press the button and it goes right where I want it. It has 4 different memory buttons. I'm also glad I got the large 71" desk. My older desk was a little smaller, and love the additional space. I have two large computer monitors, my laptop, a lamp, my wireless router, keyboard and mouse and a place to write on a notepad, and it's not cramped. I also did a lot of research on stand up desks before I bought this one. In fact, I did purchase a stand-up desk previously, the kind that sits on your desk, but it was way too heavy for my desk and I decided I didn't like that style. The helped me decided that I wanted a full computer desk. It's working great so far, and I love the sturdiness of the desk. It was a great purchase, and I should've done this a long time ago.
